Re: Submission of Quarterly Progress Report Pursuant to Consent Order Paragraph 28
Dear Ms. Holman,
Chemours is pleased to submit the enclosed quarterly progress report, as required under
paragraph 28 of the Consent Order entered by the Superior Court for Bladen County on February
25, 2019. This quarterly progress report details the work and activities undertaken and
completed pursuant to the Consent Order and Addendum for the period from July 1, 2020 to
September 30, 2020.

During the third quarter of 2020, Chemours continued its comprehensive work to
implement the projects set forth in the Consent Order. And, as you know, on August 13, 2020,
Chemours signed the Addendum to Consent Order Paragraph 12, and Chemours proceeded with
Addendum implementation activities during the third quarter while the Addendum was pending
the public comment and Court review process, prior to its entry by the Court on October 12,
2020.

Significant actions undertaken during this quarterly reporting period include:

· Chemours continued to operate its thermal oxidizer facility, which is destroying over
99.99% of all PFAS air emissions routed to it.

· All of Chemours’s process wastewater continues to be captured and safely disposed of
off-site.

· Significant work continues to reduce the remaining PFAS loadings from surface water
and groundwater to the Cape Fear River, pursuant to both the Consent Order and
Addendum. On September 30, 2020, following issuance of a NPDES permit by DEQ on
September 18, 2020, Chemours began operation of a capture and treatment system for the
Old Outfall. During the third quarter, Chemours also performed mass loading sampling,
submitted mass loading protocols and modeling results, and submitted plans related to the
forthcoming seep remediation systems and stormwater treatment system.

2
· Chemours continues to provide replacement drinking water supplies to qualifying
residences and other private well users. Approximately 2500 residences are receiving
bottled water, and whole building or under sink filtration systems have been installed at
over 1200 residences.

We are focused and intent on ensuring that the implementation of the Consent Order and
Addendum continues to proceed in the same manner.

As always, if you have any questions or need any additional information concerning this
report, or the Consent Order implementation generally, please contact me at
[e-mail].

Sincerely,

Brian D. Long
Plant Manager
